The Magic of Marrakesh

Marrakesh is a former imperial city as well as a major economic and cultural center in western Morocco. A central symbol of the city is the Moorish minaret of the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. The call to prayer echoes from the city’s mosques. The medina, a densely packed, walled medieval old city with maze-like alleys dates to the Berber Empire.
